At the Design Doha Biennial 2024, Qatar's platform for global design exchange, we worked with Sirojiddin Rahmatillaev, an Uzbek master craftsman known for his expertise in the tapchan, a traditional low outdoor seating platform central to Central Asian communal life. Together we designed Qosh, a contemporary reinterpretation of the tapchan that drew on his deep knowledge of the form and our approach to proportion and material. It was a genuine collaboration between two distinct craft traditions, shaped together from the ground up rather than one interpreting the other.
